1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
6 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
12 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
13 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
15 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
19 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
20 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
22 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
23 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
25 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
27 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
28 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
29 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
31 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
33 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
35 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
36 modules (nothingmuch).
39 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
44 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
45 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
46 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
49 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
50 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
53 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
54 * Class::MOP::Attribute
55 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
56 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
57 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
58 attributes. (nothingmuch)
60 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
62 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
63 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
64 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
65 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
66 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
68 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
69 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
70 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
73 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
74 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
76 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
77 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
78 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
80 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
82 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
85 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
88 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
89 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
90 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
93 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
94 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
99 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
102 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
103 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
105 * Class::MOP::Attribute
107 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
110 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
111 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
112 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
113 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
116 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
117 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
118 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
119 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
120 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
121 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
125 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
126 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
130 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
131 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
132 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
136 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
137 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
140 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
141 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
142 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
146 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
147 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
148 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
149 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
150 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
153 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
154 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
156 * Class::MOP::Instance
157 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
158 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
160 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
162 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
164 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
167 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
169 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
170 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
173 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
174 changed back in 0.82_01)
175 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
176 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
179 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
180 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
182 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
184 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
185 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
186 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
189 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
190 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
193 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
194 * Class::MOP::Attribute
195 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
197 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
198 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
199 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
202 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
205 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
206 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
207 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
208 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
209 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
212 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
215 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
217 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
221 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
222 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
223 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
224 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
228 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
231 * Class::MOP::Package
232 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
235 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
238 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
240 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
243 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
244 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
245 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
246 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
249 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
250 was removed in 0.82_01.
252 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
253 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
254 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
255 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
256 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
257 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
258 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
259 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
260 for the Moose compatibility handling code
261 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
263 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
265 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
266 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
268 * Class::MOP::Immutable
269 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
270 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
271 provides its own constructor (doy)
273 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
276 * Class::MOP::Instance
277 * Class::MOP::Attribute
278 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
279 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
280 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
281 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
284 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
285 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
287 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
289 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
290 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
292 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
293 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
294 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
295 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
296 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
299 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
300 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
301 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
302 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
303 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
304 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
305 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
307 - Class::MOP::Instance
308 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
312 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
313 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
314 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
316 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
317 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
318 when an object is constructed)
319 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
321 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
322 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
323 when an object is constructed)
324 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
325 - attributes => _attributes
326 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
328 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
330 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
331 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
332 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
335 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
336 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
337 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
340 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
341 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
342 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
343 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
347 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
348 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
349 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
350 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
351 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
352 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
354 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
355 * No changes from 0.78_02.
357 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
359 * Class::MOP::Immutable
360 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
361 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
362 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
363 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
367 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
368 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
371 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
372 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
373 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
375 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
377 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
378 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
381 * Class::MOP::Instance
382 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
383 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
384 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
385 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
387 * Class::MOP::Attribute
388 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
389 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
390 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
392 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
393 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
394 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
398 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
399 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
400 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
401 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
403 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
404 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
405 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
406 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
407 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
408 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
409 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
410 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
411 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
414 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
415 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
418 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
420 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
421 * No changes from 0.77_01
423 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
425 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
426 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
427 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
428 against the pure Perl version of this code.
430 * Class::MOP::Instance
431 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
432 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
435 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
437 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
441 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
442 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
446 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
447 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
449 * Class::MOP::Package
450 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
451 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
454 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
458 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
459 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
460 near future release. You've been warned.
462 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
463 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
464 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
465 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
467 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
468 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
471 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
472 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
475 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
478 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
479 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
481 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
483 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
484 sharing an immutable transformer object
485 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
486 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
488 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
490 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
491 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
492 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
493 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
495 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
496 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
498 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
500 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
501 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
503 * t/082_get_code_info.t
504 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
505 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
506 succeed in that case.
508 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
509 * Class::MOP::Package
510 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
513 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
514 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
516 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
517 * Class::MOP::Immutable
518 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
519 the constructor was inlined.
520 * Class::MOP::Package
521 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
522 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
523 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
525 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
526 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
528 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
530 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
531 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
532 * Class::MOP::Immutable
533 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
534 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
535 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
538 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
539 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
540 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
541 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
542 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
543 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
544 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
545 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
546 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
547 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
549 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
552 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
553 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
556 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
558 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
559 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
561 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
563 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
564 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
565 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
568 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
569 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
570 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
573 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
575 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
576 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
578 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
579 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
580 times in an eval. (t0m)
582 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
584 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
585 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
586 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
587 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
588 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
589 - added test for this
591 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
592 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
593 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
596 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
597 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
601 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
602 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
603 aliased methods and "real" methods.
605 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
606 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
607 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
608 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
611 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
612 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
615 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
616 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
617 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
618 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
619 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
620 for sad systems without a compiler.
623 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
624 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
627 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
628 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
629 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
631 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
633 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
634 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
635 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
636 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
638 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
639 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
640 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
641 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
643 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
645 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
646 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
649 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
650 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
651 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
653 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
655 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
657 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
658 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
659 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
661 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
662 * Class::MOP::Package
663 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
664 releases. (nothingmuch)
667 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
669 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
670 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
671 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
674 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
677 * Class::MOP::Instance
678 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
680 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
682 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
683 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
684 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
685 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
688 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
689 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
693 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
694 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
695 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
696 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
697 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
700 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
701 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
702 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
705 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
706 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
707 consistency (nothingmuch)
708 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
710 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
711 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
712 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
713 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
716 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
717 * Class::MOP::Immutable
718 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
720 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
722 * Class::MOP::Instance
723 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
724 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
726 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
728 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
729 the class is already loaded (sartak)
730 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
731 instead of just 1 (sartak)
734 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
736 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
737 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
738 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
740 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
741 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
742 recognizes it correct this time.
744 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
745 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
748 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
749 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
752 - now stores the instance of the instance
753 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
754 and deletes it when the cache is blown
755 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
756 the options used to make it immutable as well as
757 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
759 * Class::MOP::Package
760 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
761 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
762 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
766 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
768 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
769 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
771 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
772 names now throw a more direct error in
774 - tests for this and other aspects of
780 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
781 Class::MOP::Attribute
782 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
785 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
786 (late night release engineering)--
788 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
789 changes in this release
791 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
792 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
793 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
796 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
797 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
798 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
801 * Class::MOP::Package
802 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
804 - inlining a few calls to &name with
805 direct HASH access key access
806 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
807 a HASH of items based on a type filter
808 similar to list_all_package_symbols
809 - added tests for this
812 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
813 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
814 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
815 - added more descriptive error message to help
816 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
817 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
819 * Class::MOP::Immutable
820 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
822 - added tests for this
824 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
826 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
827 function from MRO::Compat
828 - All XS based functionality now has a
829 Pure Perl alternative
830 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
831 can now be used to force non-XS versions

841 * Class::MOP::Immutable
842 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
843 making the class immutable
846 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
847 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
848 allow for it to work.
849 - added tests for this
851 * Class::MOP::Attribute
853 Class::MOP::Immutable
854 - any time a method meta object is constructed
855 we make sure to pass the correct package and
856 method name information
859 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
860 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
861 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
862 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
863 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
864 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
865 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
866 throw an error if these are not supplied.
867 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
868 and now store the package_name and name attributes
871 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
872 Module::Install support has been removed
874 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
875 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
876 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
877 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
881 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
882 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
884 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
885 when it has no init_arg
886 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
887 to support c3 classes.
889 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
892 - making sure that load_class never gets
893 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
894 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
897 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
899 - improved error handling in ->create method
900 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
901 will be used to populate values
902 - added tests for this
905 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
906 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
912 Class::MOP::Attribute
913 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
914 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
916 * Class::MOP::Instance
917 Class::MOP::Immutable
918 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
921 - fixed the filename length on several
922 test files so we install on VMS better
924 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
925 should be catfile (RT #32385)
927 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
928 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
931 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor

934 to indicate that no constructor args can
935 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
936 - added tests for this
937 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
940 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
941 feature instead of the silly hack from
942 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
944 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
946 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
949 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
950 - removed assumptions about the existence of
953 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
954 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
955 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
958 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
959 constant so that we can take advantage
960 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
963 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
964 optimize the &linearized_isa method
965 and avoid the hack/check for circular
966 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
967 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
968 - added tests for this
970 * Class::MOP::Immutable
971 - the immutable class now keeps track of
972 the transformer which immutablized it
974 * Class::MOP::Instance
975 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
976 - added tests for this
978 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007

992 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
993 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
996 - removed the dependency on B
997 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
998 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
999 the B fiddling we were doing with
1000 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1001 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1002 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1003 be used to help manage method caching.
1006 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1007 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1008 even more accurate caching information.
1009 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1012 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1013 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1014 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1015 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1017 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1018 of the new method map caching features
1020 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1021 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1022 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1023 HASH ref case, which makes the

1025 - added more tests for this
1027 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1028 * Class::MOP::Attribute

1030 - added more tests for this
1032 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1034 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1035 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1036 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1038 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1039 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1040 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1041 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1043 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1044 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1045 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1047 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1050 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1052 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1055 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1056 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1057 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1058 call through (groditi)
1060 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1061 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1062 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1063 it is defined (groditi)
1065 * Class::MOP::Instance
1066 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1067 it is defined (groditi)
1069 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor

1071 - removed the relevant attributes
1073 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1074 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1075 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1076 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1078 - added tests for this
1079 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1080 non-inlined constructors.
1081 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1083 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1084 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1085 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1086 - added tests for this
1089 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)

1099 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1102 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1104 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1106 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1107 it manually now so that people can use this
1108 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1110 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1112 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1113 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1114 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1117 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1118 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1119 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1120 - removed unused variable
1121 - added create_immutable_transformer
1122 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1123 - tests for this (groditi)
1126 - Immutability can now be undone,
1127 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1128 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1129 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1130 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1131 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1132 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1133 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1134 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1135 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1137 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1138 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1140 * Class::MOP::Package
1141 - we now deal with stub methods properly
1142 - added tests for this
1143 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
1145 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1146 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1147 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1149 - added tests and POD for this
1152 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1153 handles undef values correctly.
1154 - added tests for this
1155 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1156 will not get reaped when instances still
1157 exist which need to reference them. This is
1158 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1159 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1160 many work arounds out in the wild.
1161 - added tests for this by groditi
1162 - updated docs to explain this
1165 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1166 - added tests for this behavior
1168 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1169 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1172 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1173 - added tests and docs for these
1175 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1176 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1177 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1181 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1186 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1187 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1188 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1189 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1190 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1193 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1195 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1196 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1197 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1200 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1201 immutable transformation instead of
1202 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1204 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1205 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1206 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1207 be coming eventually.
1210 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1212 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1213 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1217 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1220 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1222 - constructor generation is now handled by
1223 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1225 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1226 - created this to handle constructor generation
1227 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1229 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1231 - attributes now delegate to the
1232 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1235 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor

1242 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1243 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1247 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1248 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1249 they are aliased from the originals
1250 - fixed tests to reflect
1251 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1253 - adjusted tests for this
1254 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1257 * Class::MOP::Method
1259 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1260 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1261 - adjusted tests to compensate
1262 - adjusted docs for this
1265 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1266 encapsulate most of the work into the
1267 &get_method_map method
1268 - made several adjustments for the change
1269 in Class::MOP::Method
1270 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1271 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1272 old one before installing the new one
1273 - added tests for this
1274 - adjusted docs for this
1276 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1277 - added caching of &get_method_map
1278 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol

1283 &list_all_package_symbols
1285 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1287 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1288 the $:version and such just actually goes
1289 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1290 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1292 - The &create method now requires that all
1293 but the package name now is passed in as
1294 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1295 - updated docs and tests for this
1297 * Class::MOP::Object
1298 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper

1320 are no longer allowed for defaults
1321 - added tests for this
1323 * Class::MOP::Package
1324 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1325 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1326 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1328 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1330 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1331 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1332 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1333 to what Perl 6 will probably be).

1337 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1338 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1339 - added many tests for this

1346 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1348 * Class::MOP::Module
1349 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1350 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1351 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1352 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1353 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1354 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1355 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1356 - added tests for this

1372 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1374 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1375 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1376 the value of the attribute for a particular
1379 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1380 ---------------------------------------
1381 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1382 to introduce the immutable features which
1383 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1384 This support should still be considered
1385 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1386 ---------------------------------------
1388 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1390 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1391 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1392 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1395 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1396 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1397 ::Package and now inherited
1398 - added tests for this
1400 * Class::MOP::Instance
1401 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1402 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1403 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1404 instance creation (of course)
1407 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1408 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1409 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1410 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1411 table manipulation methods.
1413 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1414 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1416 - small change in &create so that it behaves

1423 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1424 because it introduces a new instance
1425 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1429 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
1430 - added tests for this
1431 - improved method modifier wrapping
1433 * Class::MOP::Instance
1434 - added new instance protocol
1435 - added tests for this

1443 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
1445 - updated tests for this
1448 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show

1468 - added tests for this
1469 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
1470 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow

1472 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1473 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1474 delegates appropriately
1476 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1477 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1478 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1479 called initialize_instance_slot

1508 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1510 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from

1520 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
1521 which were formerly private subs in
1524 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
1525 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1526 before, after and around modifiers
1527 - added tests and docs for this feature

1542 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
1543 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
1547 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test

1556 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1557 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1558 - added docs and tests
1560 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1561 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1562 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1563 be considered "ready to use".
1565 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1566 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1567 - test coverage is now at 99%
1570 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1571 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
1572 metaclass pragma instead.
1575 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
1576 error/edge-case tests
1578 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1579 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the

1585 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1587 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1588 metaclass a little more straightforward
1591 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1592 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1593 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1594 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1598 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1599 is now more useful for subclasses
1600 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1601 hash of attribute meta objects
1602 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1603 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1604 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1605 attribute meta-object itself
1606 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1607 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1608 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
1609 - added docs & tests for this
1610 - added Clone as a dependency
1611 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
1612 return blessed new or cloned instances
1613 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
1614 - added docs & tests for this
1615 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
1616 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
1617 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
1618 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1619 - added tests and docs for this
1622 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
1624 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
1626 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006

1629 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1630 attributes/methods respectively
1633 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1636 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1637 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1638 - added new example:
1641 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
1643 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
